Who /suspicious reasons/ here?

>start a job after beating 250+ applicants
>get fired within 1 month
>only reason given is that I'm supposedly "not the right fit"
>had a check-in meeting a week ago where supervisors told me that they'd received nothing but positive feedback about me from other departments

I mean I assume this means I've done something, but they were adamant that there was no triggering event.

I just packed up my stuff and left. Felt pretty good honestly.

Working for other people is the oldest scam in the book.

Oh man I swear on of my greatest joys in life is quitting without a notice. I've never been fired, but I've quit so many jobs.

[Anonymous No.1346144]

I got fired almost a month ago from my first job working at a health smoothie place.

It was going fine at first, positive feedback from supervisor and was encouraged to get promoted from team member to "shift lead" in a couple months. But then, after the manager quit the owner decided to promote a guy who had been working there for a couple of months to manager.
The guy was a complete moron, 21 and a hard ass that would follow company procedures incorrectly and talk down to employees. We didn't get a long and the tension between us was evident in how we interacted with each other. I ended up getting fired 7 months into the job by him.
Feels bad because I actually put effort into the job just to be told "I wasn't getting work done". It was a bs excuse to fire me, he just didn't like me. My other co-worker, who I was fond of, was much lazier than me and they praised him.

just shit management

I quit my job before almost getting fired. Basically two senile secrataries wouls file 72 complaints a day. So every monthy, our regional manager would fire a few people randomly and then replace our site manager. The new manager would always come in, find out what the last guy was "doing wrong," then find very small nistakes in everybodies work to try and have something to blackmail them with to keep their own job.

People honestly shouldnt be allowed to try at jobs under 10 dollars an hour. Like, the shits so menial and random. I almost got fired for leaving specs on a floor two days in a row, but one of my coworkers would sometimes just sleep, not do any worker and still get approved by the manager even though there was shit on the floor.

Again, at that pay people should just be showing up and doing their jobs, nothing more.

This desu. I've been working a min. wage job for the past year because school troubles, but I've learned it's absolutely garbage how quick management is to take advantage of someone.

You shouldn't even start caring if your job isn't paying more than $10 an hour. It's literally not worth it, because nobody else will care, and if you show concern, management will instantly pin you for everything, because they know you'll bend and fix it to keep your job.

I've helped out a lot at my job, to the point that management has started trying to guilt-trip me for when I decide I don't feel like helping people on my off day because other employees didn't show up or call in. I cannot wait to return to college.

As a very good programmer, I've found it very easy to be fired for stupid reasons.

I worked for one company that was replacing a lot of its systems with Dynamics and had nothing to show for it after two years. We didn't have even a sandbox for development, yet I was accused of not turning in any work assigned to me.

Then I worked for an insurance company with a real basket case of a system but I bit my tongue. I was out for lunch with my recruiter when we stumbled upon where two of the managers were cheating on their spouses. Next thing I know, sorry it's not working out.

After that, I worked for government in a diversity hire position. Only white male in an application development. Yeah. So I had an old woman, an ancient woman, and a durka durka telling me how to do stuff wrong. Literally, it would throw out error messages saying "you can't do action X in context Y" and they would insist otherwise. At one point, I removed my working code and went back to what they told me to do and they pitched a fit when everything stopped working.

They let the durka make all architectural decisions and he would constantly check in code that wouldn't even compile, shutting down the whole team while he dragged his ass posting "plz send me teh codez" on ExpertsExchange. Forget filing a bug report, he just ignored them and then wouldn't understand why work stalled or workarounds were pit in place. No communication at all in that office; management never communicated decisions or accepted input. Project was a year late when I came on board and made almost no progress in 6 months. It was so bad, they hired a company to help with a project I shouldn't even have had to help with bevause it was so Mickey Mouse.

I was waiting for the results of a civil service test when I got surprised because damned if I was going to stay a second longer than I had to.

[Anonymous No.1346227]

>>1346215
Man, that third job, I remember one time I was pulled into durka's office to explain a line of code I put in to work around a bug. There was a bug where you couldn't update the same object twice because reasons. I filed a bug and it sat for over a month. I filed the bug and the solution but it too sat for very a month.

Well finally, since I was being harassed about deadlines and I couldn't touch his holy framework code, I used a dirty Reflection trick to bypass it at runtime.

He was pissed. I told him I filed two bug reports, one with the solution, and they were ignored. Then he turns his monitor around to me to show me the whopping 10 e-mails he got this week. "Look how busy I am and how much mail I have to deal with!" Nigger, please, I get more than 10 e-mails per hour.

Contractor in a right to work state. Also it was basically an open secret. Place was like a TV highschool with cliques and all. These people conspired to get my boss's boss fired about a month earlier.

Plus I hated the job. Nothing like being underwater on problems that you're not allowed to fix. Only good part of the job was being like 10 miles from home.

I was a security guard at a zoo. I was on parking lot duty and had closed the lot because it was full, and then as soon as i go to walk away some idiot in some shitty ass mini van with his stupid fucking family drives on the wrong side of the road attempting to go around the gate in an attempt to get in. I told him he had to turn around and go find somewhere else to park, started shouting a bunch of bullshit, explained to him if he had read the many signs we wouldnt be having this conversation right now. Told him to take a hike and he supposedly wrote some shitty letter to the director about me. I thought it had blown over but a few days after that they call me in the middle of my shift and have me write my side of the story, say they are going to suspend me until further notice. Never heard back from that job and everytime i called to ask my status they said they didnt know or screened my calls or acted as if i was some sort of stranger. i even tried to collect my last check and they wouldnt even let me on the property. fortunately that company went bankrupt or some shit. Fuck them. Lesson learned: never EVER trust ANYONE. i was 20 when that happened and im 24 now, and now i know when to threaten litigation.

I considered it, but honestly, it's a small business and I kind of feel bad about it now that I'm a little older, wiser, and more mature (just a little bit more mature).

Actually, I may take it down now that enough time has passed. My lawyer didn't want me taking it down for 2 reasons: First, he loved it and thought it was great. But second, and more importantly, when someone threatens you with litigation the best thing to do is *usually* nothing and to take a wait-and-see approach. Anything done *before* getting served can look suspicious and can actually complicate the case or some shit.

I've actually got to see him sometime this week so I'll ask him if I can take it down now that it's been a couple years. He still talks about it...

Every time I walk in the office he yells, "Stacy!" (That's his paralegal.) "Check our Avvo rating! Quick!" Kek

>management was very very good, though, and people were genuinely friendly

>ask to be a cashier more, they get angry at me, tell me 9 times out of 10, I'll be a clerk

>Parking lot is downhill, not uphill, so when you bring carts back to the store, they can break off
>speed bumps around the entrance

>When you're a clerk, you're literally the only clerk on duty until the next one shows up, then you leave
>AKA you have to do all the bagging, all the carry outs, all the cart wrangling, all the floor sweep punch-ins (twice hourly), all the bathroom checks

>Even if you're scheduled for an hour break, you only get 30 mins
>you get your breaks/lunches whenever we're not busy. They don't schedule people to come and go at specific intervals
>they got mad at me for asking when my lunch was for the day, as it wasn't set in stone.

[Anonymous No.1348457]

>>1348450
The bagging set up was probably the worst.

>Albertsons was like 30 years old before getting closed
>had buttons you pressed with your hip for the cashier and baggers
>had a round turn table between the bagger and cashier to maximize placement of groceries
>cashier had a bag tray right next to their register so they could bag very easily

Tom Thumb on the other hand
>you had to dig for an on/off switch behind the bag trays
>the bag trays were facing to your right and left, not towards you
>the cashier's bags were off to the side, making them walk there and walk back
>they also have a switch
>no turn table, just a narrow conveyor belt that dumps everything
>no scan guns
>no scan guns
>no scan guns
>no scan guns

Even though I'd do my job, they still chewed me out all the time. Specifically me. Always me. There were returns left, the aisles weren't perfect, I needed to stop bagging and get carts, I needed to do this and that. I was 3-5 minutes late. Got chewed out for that.

For instance, I'd condition the frozen aisles, and have two days off, and when I came back, the manger wanted to talk to me about not doing a good job yesterday even though I didn't work.

I knew the cashiering system better than they did and when I was a cashier there, I made my lines move the fastest, yet I was clerk.

Cherry on top - I quit abruptly, and they deleted my employee account immediately after, which didn't allow my last direct deposit paycheck to go through. I need to call them tomorrow.

I hear that.

I think the most openly stupid part of that particular job was all of the crying how there just wasn't enough time for anything. I mean, I'd have the week's work done by the middle of the day Monday, unless it was un-re-un-re-un-redoing previous work, in which case I was done even sooner. That's not as impressive at it sounds; it's like a healthy person winning a race at the Special Olympics.

I can't tell you how many times they would waste 100 hours 1 at a time because taking 2 hours together to really solve a problem was just too much time.

Had a beer with sheriffbro afterwards. Turned out this executive guy had been trying to get him fired for over 5 years and I just got caught in the middle of it.

Executive guy supposedly planted his own sheriffs in the sheriff's office to create hostility so he could justify privatizing the whole thing. He had a mate ready to take over the contract and the quicker it happened the quicker he'd get a kickback (this is all corrupt as fuck naturally).

So the meeting that day was between one of executiveguy's planted people and sheriffbro. They even set up the meeting to take place specifically in court 4 because it was the only one where the mics can't be switched off.

Sheriffbro had hit the switch turning the mics off, not realizing that was the only courtroom where that switch wasn't working. They had this shit planned out for weeks. They just weren't counting on sheriffbro finding out and then asking me about it.

Don't know what they said in the recording, never listened to it. Couldn't give a fuck frankly. Thought about complaining to some ombudsman or something about the way I got fired but decided fuck it. Moved on and got a new job.

Never working anywhere near public servants again.

I work as a janitor/cook for a burger flipping institute. I might get fired one day even though I literally do my work better than everyone there because my boss is bitter and holds a grudge against me cause I fought her all the way to HR about how her shitty attitude is bad for the workplace and that she was retaliating against me for filing a complaint against her brown nosing right hand that I had an affair with. She doesn't know I had an affair with her because she's married and I told her I'd keep it between us but she was being a real bitch after I told her I didn't want to anymore.

It's probably stupid and a waste of time but I don't like letting people walk all over me and do what they please but any time I'm talking to my coworkers she's right there in my face asking why I'm not working even though I am and better than she ever does. She also is always looking for ways to tell me I'm doing a bad job but can't because I do all my work but one of these days I feel like she's going to do it.

Holy shit my sides! I was an English major myself, but that's because I wanted to be an English TEACHER. (And I am an English teacher now, so I guess it worked out.)

I was always in English classes with these loopy fucking pseudo-intellectuals who sincerely, genuinely believed that they would all become famous writers. It was sad and pathetic.

If you're an English major, you've basically got 2 "good" options: 1.) Education, like I did. 2.) Law school (knowing how to read and write well is indispensable to law school students and lawyers).

I was actually going to suggest that you look into finding work at some little family practice or something.

If I weren't a teacher, I'd want to do that, honestly. I just love being around lawyers; they've got this air of confidence and some of the smartest people I've ever met in my life have been lawyers.

I actually considered law school for a long time and *almost* pulled the trigger. It just didn't make sense. I think I'm smart enough to be a lawyerfag, but I'm not sure I have the stomach for it (I'm a pretty anxious guy), and I already had my English degree with teaching certification so I figured that I'd forego the additional 100k in law school and just put my teaching degree to work.

Anyway...

I was a male children's librarian. Yes, we once existed, and not all of us are pervs. I served in a "fire-at-will" state under three SJW directors in a row. The first one was the spitting image of Big Red, but she was open-minded to me as an individual and fair. Her replacement was a complete sociopath and a wiccan. Before I was fully aware of how serious she was, I joked that she was a "witch" to her face. That was my end. The third director gave me even less concrete reasons for my firing, so I'm still trying to figure out if I mansplained a little too much. I'm finished with the library world. Actually, I'm starting a business this year. From now on, I will only answer to customers.

I'm jealous, actually. It sounds like getting fired can be fun. I've never been fired before.

I had this crazy idea one time that I hadn't learned enough about humility because I'm so white and upper-middle class and I've never really worked a job that wasn't "white collar," so I decided to go out looking for the scuzziest most awful job I could find on short notice and work it all summer long.

It turns out that the scuzziest most awful job one can find on short notice around here is washing dishes at a little shit-bucket dive of a seafood restaurant.

I worked my nipples off and went home smelling like death every fucking night. The boss was this enormous douchebag who I rarely ever saw. I'd ask for a night off and he'd tell me that he would try making a few phone calls. Of course he never would, but he'd tell me at the last second "oh yeah I couldn't find coverage for you so I'll see you tomorrow." Uh... thanks?

That shit didn't bother me though. Fuck it. I was there to learn some humility, and this was it. So I continued working.

The restaurant would close at 10 or whatever but of course we had a stack of dishes to wash and the floors to scrub. It took no less than 2 hours and the fucking dickhead chef would come in every 10 minutes from the bar asking us if we were done yet because he wanted to go home. That shit pissed me off but I sucked it up: humility.

Then one night the prep-chef who was in all likelihood an illegal immigrant started yelling at me for getting a little water on the floor. (Hello? I'm a dish-washer?) Said some disrespectful shit to me so I told him to go fuck himself. That's when he grabbed me by my collar and threw me up against the dishwasher.

The rest of the kitchen staff broke us up but that was the last straw. I went to my boss and told him what a fucking dick José was. He just laughed and was like "Well, that's José." That's José? Are you serious?

Told him that I quit and then sued him in small claims for 2 weeks pay.

[Anonymous No.1350460]

>>1350438
And before anyone asks, yes, I won that suit. (So much for humility I guess!)

His lawyer called me and offered me like, $75. I laughed, told him no, asked him if he had a copy of the police report in which José admitted to laying hands on me, and told him I'd fax it to him.

I get a call back a week later from this attorney: $100 and that's the best he can do. I've had enough. The summer is almost over and I've got bills to pay, bitch.

I remind him of the numerous OSHA violations, and I tell him, quote: "I'll just amend this suit and move it out of small claims, maybe add a couple of zeroes at the end of my number. I'll subpoena each and every one of your client's employees and we'll shut that restaurant down for a day while we hash this thing out."

He told me that they felt "bullied" by me and they weren't going to settle with me. He hung up on me, pissed, but called me back 2 days later. I was in class but the voicemail was simply: "It's attorney so-and-so: come pick up your check." *click*

So yeah, I didn't learn much about humility I guess. But I *did* basically extort my boss AND his stupid ass attorney. Kek

my learned my lesson with that from my old job. after hurricane sandy the owners from my old job sold their business and within a couple of months a new owner came along. within the time of the new owner he was not happy with the way things were running. the retard manager wanted to run a business on goodwills and charity and the owner wasn't making any money. so the owner called over some big shot to help him out with the business and gave him part ownership. so the new owner started changing things to the way they should be which i was impressed by. a lot of the old people started leaving cause they couldn't get away with the things they did before. the new owner also started to bring in his people. over time more of his people came and more of the old people left/ got fired. before i knew it just about all the old timers were gone even the manager too. new owner had all of his people working there. the new manager which was the new owners friend really started to roll the ball on getting rid of the few old timers left. he wanted to fire me but could not because of the union. instead he gave me 2 write ups over something stupid. i knew my time was going to come and it did. i was having problems with other workers there too. fucked up and jealous people who i hated. i could not take it no more so i quit. i wouldn't be surprised if the new manager told the that person i quit because of to give me a hard time just to get me to leave

Yeah I was kind of a dick, to be honest. Could have just taken it on the chin like a man and walked away, but a friend of mine whose father is a lawyer recommended that I do it.

It's something that I look back on with a sort of pride but with a tiny bit of facepalm.

My friends thought it was great and still talk about it. "Remember you sued...?" "Yeah I remember. I was kind of a douchebag." Lol

But the truth is that while the job may not have taught me humility, it might have taught me something even more important: to advocate for myself. There's humility, and then there's just outright being treated like shit. I found where that threshold lies.

Earlier someone stole a deposit from the safe that wouldn't lock and I didn't notice for whatever reason. I didn't get in trouble for that, but I could tell they were trying to find any reason to fire me. I was suddenly getting visits from another GM frequently that was criticizing my store. Meanwhile, hers was total shit. At least mine had a working cooler and freezer and was clean. They finally found a reason and she along with another manager came and fired me. I was highly upset, but kept my composure.
The next morning I got up at 10 and realized I didn't have to get up at 6 AM 6 days a week. I was happy as shit. When I filed my unemployment and got $260 a week. I took a 3 month vacation on their dime.

How old are you? Sounds like you are a 19-22 immature.

No matter what, take pride in your work. Even if your job is shitty as hell. Taking pride in everything that you do (and not just picking important things) will really help you out in life.

I was working at a grocery store where me and this one guy had to do menial tasks. He half assed his part and when I called him out, he said "it's just a stupid task" and when I tried to explain to him the concept of taking pride in his work, it was foreign to him. Well he dropped out of community college and I went on to be a successful engineer. I think he's still at the grocery store.

Just be willing to start from the bottom. Get your foot in the door and start getting experience. I started off as a bussboy working weekends while in college. I paid attention to how the place was run and worked hard. One day they were short staffed and needed another server, and I stepped up. I started taking tables and making like double the money. After that I learned about operations, always asking my boss what he was doing and why. I watched bartenders make drinks and on slow days, asked to try my hand at bartending. It's really just an accumulation of knowledge and experience, like any other profession.

It wouldn't matter. For they filed a lawsuit after you filed a claim for wages it is usually considered as a default retaliatory action which gives you automatic damages. I would file the lawsuit since they didn't try any other recourse.

I've never been fired from a job, but I have quit a lot of jobs for a better one across several industries and in several countries.

Here's a story from my days of teaching English

>take a job teaching in Ukraine
>arrive and learn they want me to basically start work at 07:00 and end at 22:00 everyday with a several hour break in between
>end up using that several hour break to commute in Kyiv and plan lessons when I get back to the office
>don't mind the long hours because expectations are high and professional development is good
>absolutely hate my fellow foreign co-workers who were basically the biggest bunch of assholes and lunatics you could ever meet
>had no problem with my Ukrainian co-workers as they were perfectly normal people
>have one too many arguments with a co-worker who was a single 45 year old bitchy Scottish woman who had corn yellow teeth and a personality which curdled milk
>book a plane ticket home, pack my bags, and leave Ukraine without telling anyone

And that was the end of my career teaching English abroad. Seriously, fuck exp-pat teachers. There are a few good ones out there, but 95% of them are the most miserable bunch of fucks you'll ever meet.

today i worked for the first time in my life
my highschool grades were shit,thus i didnt get into any kind of university.

My father was paying for expensive private lessons,because the school education system is shit here.

I was retarded and basically paid to attention at school or the lessons i mentioned.cause i am a giant fucking autistic aspie.

my father has had a shit attitude for the last 2 months,constantly telling me i deceived him (he is right) and that i am useless.
yeah sure i was a fucking moron ,but he cant talk like a fucking civilized human,he just insults me now,and condemns me to a shitty life.

today i hope to believe,as a tool to educate me,but i fear because he has no hope for me.

he found a job for me working in a field with a fucking literal hoe (we live in a somewaht rural area,lots of people are farmers) ,alone,under a strong fucking sun ( I am a white AF nerd) to toil for hours cleaning the field of invasive plants.

and i will never again in my life work such a job.

>2nd complaint- Delivered pizza to an elderly couple. Their door was made of wood and I fell through it

>3rd complaint- Some fucking college kids told my manager I took a bite out of their pizza and it arrived part eaten. Manager believed them

>4th complaint- The one that got me fired- I tried to be cheerful and say 'time for pizza' when I was delivering but I accidentally said it like a question and the person ordering thought I was demanding a slice of their pizza and complained, manager believed them

What I don't get is how they're perfectly OK with missed deadlines, constant problems, no documentation, etc but having a solution is somehow the height of arrogance and eternally unforgivable.

It burns me even more in the public sector because we're already under a microscope. Not even my salary being easily available online dissuades the argument that we'really overpaid. And certainly nobody puts two and two together that any "savings" from privatization will come from importing shitskins.

How you can be so failed at your job and not fear being shown the door is a total mystery to me. But then it never occurred to them it might be a bad idea to send pornographic e-mails at work either.

And let's be honest here, work with enough people and patterns emerge. They will say things to save face and are reluctant to share information even amongst themselves. Because of this, they produce pure chaos. Nothing matches the spec, logs are missing or scattered all over, stuff slips into production without testing, etc.

Likewise, women in this field often have an inferiority complex. They won't ask men for help, don't tolerate alternative input, and never admit a mistake. Everyone is their enemy because misogyny. They will willfully drive the ship into a iceberg, then play the damsel in distress expecting to be saved.

I don't like managing people (which was one of the reasons why i quit the previous job).

I'm literally a shut-in recluse who doesn't trust people and spends all his free time in front of a computer (earlier it was vidya, now just internet). Not sure how i would have been able to manage employees and find clients.
I guess i could have started as an independent contractor, working alone. Still, I'd need an assistant, it's next to impossible to properly do certain things without any assistance sometimes.

Another problem with being an independent contractor is lack of clients and their low purchasing power. And people with money already have established necessary contacts with service providers, rich people are usually well-connected.

The employer can fight an unemployment claim. This is because an employer that doesn't have its act together and fires a lot of people puts more of a burden on the system and can have its tax rate raised in response. Fortunately, when an employer (say D&H Distributing) puts themselves in that situation, their credibility sinks such that each protest carries less and less weight.

Worked for a Maximum Security Prison for 5 years while in college. End up becoming a Sergeant while there, and getting promoted to a Contraband Interdiction Sergeant. Which is basically a politically correct term for a Prison Swat team we had. The purpouse of CIT was to obtain illegal contraband namely Cell Phones, Drugs, and fire/gather intelligence on compromised officers that were involved. Did so good, they had me and a few of my team members transferred to another unit with a large contraband problem. Prison was in a large city of the state, and had a bunch of dindu officers. Got a bunch fired, a bunch Federally indicted, and had lots of uses of force.. basically whooped inmate ass and cleaned up in the prison.

Locking up an inmate one day.. he and I were in Solitary by ourselves. I have a habit of removing the hand restraints before they go in the cell as it is akward to do so, once they are in. This violates policy, you have to wait until they secure them in the cell. I remove the hand restraints from the offender and he proceeds to spit in my face. I ended up giving him sixteen stitches total, on 3 separate lacerations on his head. I got fired for excessive use of force, and unjustifiable injuries. Even though spitting in my face warranted a use of force I got carried away with it. All 5 years down the drain, and no more job in the Criminal Justice field. Worked out well though, I make way more money now doing Non Destructive Testing, and invest my money.

>Work on a farm doing irrigation though summers to put myself through uni.
>Pays $15 dollery doos an hour because i can do almost any job on the farm and I've been there for 5 years or so.
>work every day unless shit gets real fucked up or it rains. Life is suffering after a month straight
of 10 hour days, but them hours.
>Boss is the owners son, he's a shitbag who only ever works if he can't find a way to weasel out of doing it, and if does have to work he half asses everything whilst expecting everybody else to be perfect.
>Mostly tolerable because he lets me manage the rest of the irrigation crew and leaves me to my own devices.
>Owner is a true son of Israel and won't spend any money on maintenance, so everything is held together with string and gum, all the equipment would make worksafe shit blood
>He also cuts corners everywhere he can, most notably overloading the shit out of delivery trucks, and I'd bet the maintenance on them is questionable too.
>If the day comes I just unleash my hate on daddies boy and get canned, There'll just so happen to be a health and safety inspection the next week, followed by a guest appearance from the department of transportation.

It's truly amazing that place hasn't been raped by worksafe, and that the truckers haven't been caught by DOT checkpoints. I regularly drive forklifts and last week I was spraying herbicides, all shit I need a licence too do legally. I did all that shit in shorts and bare feet too.
